In 2016, we adopted a new packaging system to limit seed exposure to moisture and light while giving us more space for planting instructions. Seeds are packaged in 3" x 4" reclosable plastic bags along with a planting instructions insert printed on Avery two-side Clean-Edge business cards. Each bag is then placed inside a 3.375" x 6" (#6) coin envelope marked with a 2" x 4" label that describe the plant.
